What will you learn?

The Master Herbalist Diploma Course is dedicated to helping you to understand how herbs can be used in your life and how you can take advantage of the multifarious natural healing options.

Throughout the course you will learn how to use hundreds of different herbs to help yourself and others to heal naturally.

The course covers everything about different individual components of herbs and how they all work, as well as the many different parts of plants that are responsible for helping you get the most powerful healing from your own body. Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Homeopathy, and Essential Oils are also discussed in detail.

Herbal medicine has played a huge part in the natural healing process for generations (the use of herbs even dates back to the days of the Bible) and in many cultures. Over the years many people discovered the powerful healing properties of herbs and the many ways in which they could be used for one’s own benefit. In particular, herbs can help with treating many diseases and medical conditions whilst also relieving many symptoms.

You will also learn about the many aspects of flower essences, cooking herbs, and the spiritual benefits of such herbs. The course also details how to use, make, and apply dozens of essential oils. In addition, the final module talks you through how you can put your newly-learnt skills to practice by setting up your own herbalist business.
